A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME ...

Hey, I’m Jane.

 

I capture how your wedding feels, not just how it looks.

Let’s be honest: most people dread the idea of standing in rigid lines for hours on their wedding day, smiling until their cheeks ache. If the thought of awkward, forced staging makes you cringe, you are in the right place.


As a documentary wedding photographer working across Lancashire, the Lake District, Yorkshire, and Cheshire, my philosophy is beautifully simple: 95% no posing, 100% no fuss.


My obsession with photography started out of a love for real, unscripted human connection. I don’t treat your wedding day like a theatrical production or a commercial photoshoot. Instead, I blend into the background like an extended member of your wedding party—swapping laughs with your guests, managing the unpredictable British weather with a smile, and quietly capturing the fleeting, honest moments you might not even realize are happening.


Whether you are planning a grand, historic celebration at Mitton Hall, an intimate country inn reception at The Spread Eagle Sawley, or a wild, rustic escape at Fairbank Wedding Barn, I am here to document your day your way.

No awkward posing. No stiff rules. Just vibrant, clear, and storytelling imagery that you will treasure forever.

FAQ

What is your wedding photography style?

My style is primarily natural, documentary wedding photography focused on candid storytelling. I spend the vast majority of the day blending into the background to capture genuine emotions, raw laughter, and real moments completely unposed. However, I am always happy to build in a short, stress-free session for family group photos and relaxed couple portraits if you want them

We are incredibly camera-shy and hate posing. Is that okay?

Absolutely! In fact, most of the couples who book me start by telling me how nervous they are in front of the lens. My entire approach is built around making you feel completely calm, relaxed, and at ease. There is no rigid modeling or forced smiling—we just hang out, have fun, and capture you being entirely yourself.

Which areas do you cover for wedding and elopement photography?

 I am a professional wedding photographer based in the Northwest. I regularly cover weddings, micro-weddings, and intimate elopements across Lancashire, Cumbria and the Lake District, Yorkshire, and Cheshire.

Do you offer shorter coverage for smaller weddings?

Yes! Alongside my full-day documentary wedding packages, I offer a dedicated short-coverage option called The Twilight Story. This is perfect for intimate celebrations, registry office weddings, or evening-only coverage. My transparent wedding photography packages start from £500.

How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?

You'll receive a sneak preview of the highlights of your day within one week of your wedding (often much earlier during off peak season/downtime)

Your full and final gallery will be delivered between 8 & 12 weeks depending on season and editing workload. Should I encounter any problems with this expected timeframe I will keep you updated on your gallery's progress at all times.

What happens if the weather is bad on our wedding day?

As a seasoned Lake District and Lancashire wedding photographer, I am completely immune to unpredictable British weather! Rain or shine, we will make magic. I know the absolute best indoor backdrops, cozy corners, and lighting tricks at top local venues to ensure you get dreamy, high-quality images no matter what.

Jane went above and beyond for us, she worked so hard during our day. Most of the time we weren’t even aware she was there, snapping away and making sure to pap all those important and special moments!
She braved all weather conditions (Lake District style !!) to ensure we had unforgettable moments and photos, nothing was too much trouble.
